It does, but it's only one out of two or three total places in the country that do it, and they're all fairly backwards backwater towns. Not to mention the vast majority of people in the country loathe that "tradition" more and more due to animal as well as human casualties, so it's hardly an accurate representation of Portugal. We're nothing like Spain in that regard. They're the granddaddies of that practice and the ones keeping it alive.

All in all it's a really weak episode but it's still awesome non the less that they came here at least once
Why am I not surprised that they completely missed the mark with the running of the bulls but are familiar with Estoril?
